ABOUT 1,000 members of the Cagayan de Oro City's civic organizations, parishes, agencies, and villages from all over the city joined the 6th annual "Multi-sectoral and Interfaith Prayer Mobilization and Walk for Life" on Saturday, April 29.

With their placards, participants expressed their dismay on the ongoing actions of the government in tackling today’s issues. Some of the protesters' posters bore the cries like “casiNOMORE,” “Death penalty kills the people not crime,” “No to Mina. Yes to Gina” and others.

The Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro spearheaded the march which started at about eight in the morning until early afternoon. The crowd started their march from the Capitol Grounds and gathered at the Gaston Park for a short program.
